£15 of free movies, free Music All Access and Now TV Entertainment Pass when you buy a Chromecast, a smashing deal. The perfect gift for anyone, including yourself. No doubt they'll put a smile on plenty of faces.

All you need to do is buy one and get it all set up by January 312015 to take advantage of all three offers. The free £15 credit has to be used by 31 January 2016.

Full terms can be found here - http://goo.gl/prhGGq and you can pick a Chromecast for £30 at the likes of:

All 4 is the new home of Channel 4 content and apart from the name change nothing else is new. Still no Chromecast support until they have the rights to allow content to be streamed from your mobile device to a TV.

Free Chromecast when you buy a Nexus 9 from Currys and on top of that your Chromecast also sees you pick up a free subscription to Now TV for three months, 90 days of Google Music, a free movie rental and 30 days of Qello Concerts.

The 16GB WiFi Nexus 9 is £299 and the 32GB WiFi Nexis 9 is £399. Basically the price of the tablet has been dropped by £30 and a Chromecast chucked in which is a very good deal if you've been thinking of picking one of the super tablets up.

You can grab yours via the link below and the Nexus Player is also available from Currys as of yesterday.

I was looking at Evernote only last week and thought it's about time Keep had the ability to add tags so searching for things is easier.

As if the Android team somehow heard my thoughts Keep is getting that functionality in the latest update. The update isn't showing up for me just yet but I'll be keeping my eye out for it over the course of this evening.

There should also be a few other updates it being Wednesday and all so hopefully an update will be coming to Google Drive, Google Plus and Photos!

Looks like the Nexus Player will be hitting the UK inna couple of days. Not sure if it'll be getting one as I'm not a big gaming person and the Chromecast does what I need it to do.

Pricing is set to be about £80 which is the same price as a Roku and that packs all the TV you could need with all catch up services and the likes of Sky News. Coupled with a Chromecast I've got all I need for when my TV is on.

New consumer laws hit the UK this October and they'll be giving you more protection with your purchases. One type of purchase that comes with more protection are when downloading apps.

As taken from the Gov.uk website:

You play a ‘freemium’ computer game – which means that the game was free to use when you started playing it 5 months ago. During that time you have spent money on in-app purchases to improve your game character. After your last character upgrade which you made via an in-app purchase, the game has stopped working. Under the Act you would be entitled to a repair or a replacement. If a repair is not provided within a reasonable time or is impossible to replace then you would be entitled to some money back.

The same will go for new other faulty digital content such as online film, games, music downloads and e-books.

I'm sure that many of you have had issues when a handset goes wrong. From October the new law will see you able to return faulty goods up to 30-days for a refund and if you have a repair that is faulty the business will have to give you some money back.

More details on how the new consumer laws will impact you can be found via the below link. ﻿

Three to buy O2 is official and all that is needed now are the regulatory people to give the deal the thumbs up and that could take a year to go through.

The deal means that O2 who have the best customer services merge with a network who offer the best deals on the market. Hopefully the O2 customer service values will stay when Three take them on and likewise Three continue to offer the super value plans and in particular those sim only deals.

Competition shouldn't suffer. There is still a lot of choice in the UK and no doubt Three will have to give some concessions for the deal to go through.

O2 do have a very strong brand and I'd imagine Three would want to keep that going. Together they'll be the biggest network, offer amazing deals and keep that great customer service going.

More on the announcement can be read over on the O2 website via the attached link.

Hutchison Whampoa has today agreed definitive terms to acquire O2 in the UK from Telefónica. The deal agreed is the result of a period of exclusive discussions between the two companies. Closing of the deal is subject to regulatory approvals, but would bring together two respected mobile businesses in the UK. O2’s vision has always …

UK based Android blog hoping to bring all the news for Android users here in the UK. You won't find us on a website, after a trial with Google + we have decided to use what has to be a more fun, interactive and easier way to post. Most of my 'blogging' will be done using nothing more than a Nexus 7 3G tablet, great for posting on the go and takes full advantage of all the services Google has to offer. I may also use the super Nexus 4 to add content,
